> Brenda: "Lastly why wouldn't Rowling include a vampire
character in her story. She has witches, wizards, trolls, giants,
werewolves, goblins, elves, centaurs etc. It would be strange to
entirely rule out the inclusion of a vampire."<
Jim Ferer:
> There's no reason for her not to include a vampire if she wants
to, but there's no reason ought to include one, either. Do stories
have to have representation from every group? How about
hags?<
Pippin:
Yes, how about them?

Harry felt a powerful rush of dislike he could not explain to

from her stupid voice to her fluffy pink cardigan [...] She smiled,
revealing very pointed teeth.

Very pointed teeth??! Wouldn't it be just dripping with irony if
our Dolores Umbridge is a half-breed or a disguised
part-human herself? (I know this list doesn't quite go along with
Lexicon Steve in regarding the chocolate frog cards from the
video games as canon, but it does mention in the PoA game that
hags have been known to disguise themselves as human
women.)
It would also be amusingly ironic if Fudge gets turned out of
office when it's discovered that he hired a hag as his assistant.
Right move, wrong reasons.
